Wipeout 2048 was my favourite of all time and is available in the Wipeout Omega Collection. I wouldn’t say that it’s better than the more recent titles but it was just the one that grabbed me.

I also really liked:

• Dirt Rally was ace on the PSVR
• Burnout Paradise
• Need for Speed: Most Wanted (the second one)

It’s purely about the power of advertising. It is the most trusted news channel in the uk with around 70% of the country watching BBC One for their news. The second most popular news channel is ITV at 49%.

So they could launch an appeal without the BBC but they could be missing up to half the population. Although it’s difficult to tell because they could also be missing none of the population if those that don’t watch ITV watch other non-BBC channels.

I think that the concern that they have (regarding the ability to actually deliver aid) is valid. We’ve heard a lot of stories about aid delivery not working so how are the aid agencies going to ensure that they can use the money that they collect from the appeal for the specified purpose?

This story is about French/space/communications/technology. Not American/politics/racist/conspiracy. Not one genre overlap

It’s about the one overlap that you missed out: frickin space lasers

I think that we know the answer to that don’t we?

We’ll keep hold of them in case we need them regardless of the fact that using them now would drastically reduce the chances of us needing them later.

That’s ignoring the humane reason for sharing because that won’t be considered relevant to any decision made.

As an aside, Sanchez is missing the fact that the EV tarriffs were implemented in response to excessive state aid by the PRC. It’s not good for him to promise to drop the tarriffs without committing to more negotiation regarding the EU’s concerns about state aid.

That is a pretty huge thing to ignore too. Without the EU imposing tariffs, China could shut down the EV industry in the EU. Without tariffs, any country could shut down any industry in another country unless the other country also provides subsidies.

I’m not sure that’s the fault of XML though.

It’s more the fault of the implementation and documentation.

We have a WCF service with an odd configuration and nobody has been able to integrate with it that didn’t use Microsoft tools. It’s definitely not XML’s fault.

(That service has been replaced with a REST API now)

Well, as we provide Israel with only around 1% of their arms imports I think that we could only ever hope to make a political statement rather than having any real impact.

Same in the UK but we’ve only just done anything about it.

When I played games on my PC I ended up spending more time configuring my Steam controller than I did playing the game.

A classic example of perfect being the enemy of good.

Which means that he could also not override congress and not send Israel guns or cash.

It seems that they intend Microsoft Loop to be the collaborative notes app now.

It’s replaced OneNote as the meeting notes app and it has more flexible access control.

Currently they also only have one version as it’s a progressive web app (that might change with time though).

I guess that that’s all that matters.

Did it take time to get used to or did it work straight away?

That’s the problem isn’t it.

I’d have no problem paying for privacy respecting access to websites that I used frequently except that I don’t trust them to keep their end of the deal.

lol. We’re short of prison space so get the deal with Rwanda for immigrants changed to be criminals instead.

Yeah. It’s a pretty meaningless statistic really.

I was definitely more likely to leave the UK after the brexit referendum than before it but I’m still here. The chances before were less than 1% and the chances after were closer to 1% but probably still didn’t exceed it.

P.s. I’m not a millionaire in case anyone is wondering.

I’m like that too. I can’t think or move fast enough for RTS but don’t have the patience for really thinking things through in turn based games.

Maybe the in between would be turn based with a time limit per turn.

Every week or two there’s a new ceasefire deal on the table and then Netanyahu says something to the tune of “but we’re not stopping until Hamas is gone”.

It seems that the negotiators don’t have the authority to negotiate for anything other than “you stop shooting now and we’ll stop shooting when you’re dead”.

It’s mostly in a spoiler tag and is intended for it to give you only the conclusion and you’d need to click through to get to the detail.

It doesn’t work on my client though.

Oh, so it’s bad for Russian trolls and hackers to interfere in elections but it’s okay for Indian priests?
